US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has offered up a scathing assessment of China and its questionable practices in the field of medical research, stating the Communist superpower had a history of "infecting the world" and "running sub-standard laboratories".

If China has 'nothing to hide' it would welcome independent investigation | Sky News AustraliaIf China has nothing to hide it, it would welcome an independent inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 crisis, according to ANU professor Mark Kenny.\n\nRelations between Australia and China have soured since the Coalition suggested the world launches an independent, global investigation into the origins of the virus.\n\nThe US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has backed Australia's call for an international inquiry and accused China of lax biosecurity standards.\n\n'There is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan,' Mr Pompeo told American television network ABC.\n\nChina has disputed this and indicated the disease may have originated from a live animal wet market in the Chinese city of Wuhan.\n\nProfessor Kenny told Sky News it would be in China's interest 'for the truth to come out.'\n\n\n\n\n\n markgkenny markgkenny Lots of skeletons in lots of closets would be my guess, as to why they don’t want an independent enquire. markgkenny It doesn’t need to be independent. China is a member of the UN security council and it would be obliged to answer questions if they investigated. This is a biological weapon and they should have restricted flights. imho they will need to answer questions.
